‘Lilo & Stitch,’ ‘Friendship,’ and the Top Five Movie Friends

Sean and Amanda start the show with a quick recap of all the awards handed out at the Cannes Film Festival and wonder what this year’s Anora could be (1:13). Then, they react to the biggest Memorial Day weekend box office in history and consider what it means for the industry going forward (7:34). Next, they discuss Disney’s newest live-action remake, Lilo & Stitch, and explain why not only this specific movie but also this “genre” at large does not work for them (17:34). Finally, they cover A24’s strange but hilarious comedy Friendship, starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd (43:20), and finish the episode with their top five favorite friendships in movie history (1:02:13).
